Even though you feel a sense of dread and anxiety about the trip, look at the bright side…you are going anyway. That takes a lot of courage when you’re still hurting from this situation. See, you’ve already taken a big step!

Try not to use this time to focus on Tina and your past with her. From what I gather, you’ve gone to this convention several times and you’ve established a network of friends. Use this time to reconnect with them and further yourself professionally. If someone asks about Tina, just tell them that you’re no longer together and leave it at that. You don’t owe anyone a blow-by-blow account. Keep the response quick and dirty (not literally).

You are only going to get out of this trip what you put into it. If you approach this trip as a source of dread, then you’ll only get a dreadful outcome. Use this as a chance to get away and spend time with professionals you connect with professionally. Take advantage of seminars, networking, etc. Make it productive and progressive. Good luck and keep us updated. I know you’ll be fine.
